As a result of the high housing demand in the post-war period, numerous flats were built in serial and time-saving prefabricated concrete construction. In the meantime, many of these housing estates show a high need for redevelopment, are occupied with socio-cultural resentment and are characterised by undefined spacing areas due to the urban structure of the row construction method. At the same time, these mostly unused green spaces have a high potential. At such a location and based on the problems described above, a roofing with a minimal CO2 footprint is to be created, which, in contrast to usual renovation measures for thermal insulation, fulfils the same effect with minimal and sustainable use of materials. In addition, the EcoCanopy is to create a social and ecological microclimate, give rise to new kinds of open spaces and promote neighbourly togetherness. The aim of the master's thesis is the design of a roofing up to the constructive implementation, taking into account urban planning and social issues.
